THE CONFERENCE, ---~---- The GalferOlJCG met yesterday at cue o'clock. All the members were present, Cowtiderable dis cussion took place, and the meeting lasted until four o'clock, when it was adjourned until SAtur&y, the 2Sth inst.—a very long postponement core,ider ing the gravity of the situation both at home and abroad. As the term of the suspension of hostilities nears its end the public anxiety as to the turn matters are likely to take naturally increases. We understand, however, with regret, that the Confe rence has up to the present moment made little or no progress towards a pacific result ; and that the views of the belligerent powers are as irreconeile able as ever. We have good reason to believe that Prussia and Austria have formally announced that the war has put an end to the treaty of 1852. The neutral powers, equally parties to that treaty, have now therefore to decide whether they will allow this bold violation of a solemn engagement to be carried out with impunity.—lleralcl.

A writer in the Vines says :—ln your leader on the recent naval engagement you assert " the Danes gained this victory by their shells," and there can ho no doubt of the fact. " The moral to be drawn from this lesson is," as you correctly observe, "im portant." But how will that moral be improved by the Admiralty ? That is the question. Every unprejudiced man who is practically acquainted with modern artillery has the conviction that in future naval warfare shells will prove the most effective and formidable of all missiles. It has been conclusively demonstrated that by their agency we can burn a wooden ship with rapidity and cu. tainty. Every Armstrong shell which struck the old wooden frigate Huzzar off Shoeburyness at the range of 1,000 yards set her on fire, and she oosumed to the water's edge. Evan the l c ost y packed wooden backtug of iron-prated targets hss been ignited by shells; and those who have wit nessed these results have b P :en astonished at the rapidity, as well as inter.-sity — , of the ignition. God help our sailors Y v} iio may be doomed hereafter to fight in our bo Jasted wooden walls ! They will in evitably }. e drowned, blown up, or roasted alive. B :at, apart from the effect of ignition, there is nothing which a sailor dreads so much, and with reason, as the explosion of a shell between decks, where cover is impossible, and the smoke resulting from a large bursting charge of gunpowder will suffocate and disorganise the sturdiest veterans . What, therefore, the sailor moat fears is assuredly the best instrument to employ. We have guns which can project shells into our strongest ironclads afloat or in process of construc tion. The 600-pounder 23 ton 13in. Armstrong will send a steel shell, containing the tremendous bursting charge of 291 b. of powder, into any of these vessels with unerring certainty and with the most destructive effect. It is probable that a single shell from this gun would suffice to decide an action. At present we have a solitary gun of this calibre, There it stands at Shoeburyness gaping and idle. Its service charge of powder is 901 b., and, so far as it has been tested, it has resisted perfectly and pre sents not even an incipient flaw. At whatever cost, we must have more of these guns ; and naval constructors would be better occupied in contriving suitable ships to carry them than in designing ships on the old broadside pattern for a multitude of ' comparatively useless weapons. Let the Admiralty be on the alert. Other nations, especially the United States, watch with intense eagerness all our expe- riments. What would their Lordships say, or, rather, what w ouid the country say, if our trans atlantic cousins should be the first to adopt these monster guns in their navy ? Look out, my Lords, or you will be behiudhand in this matter. The 300-pounder 12 ton 10.5-inch gun is an ad mirable weapon, and can deliver a steel shell into the interior of any of our ships, even the most strongly iron-plated. It has been at length then rt thourzh as vet most spar ingly. We have heard much about the Duke of Somer set's pet 100 pounder smooth-bore, and Admiral Frederick's fancy 7 inch gun, But the time of his Grace and of the gunnery Lord n ould be better devoted to the question of arming our ships with really Efficient guns and steel shells. The shell's the thing which ought to catch the conscience of the Duke. Whatever else is done, let not the shell be left undone. SD long as we have ships of war, the public earnestly desires that they should be the best possible in every respect. It is not pretended that our naval armament should consist only of 600 and 300 pounders, though guns of smaller calibre than the latter will not make much impression on ironclads, or that every ship of war should carry such monster artillery. But these guns must be introduced in considerable proportion into the naval service with as little delay as possible. Give me a suitable vessel, with one 600 pounder and a few steel shells, and 1 would sink or destroy the Warrior in less than half an hour, even with all the Admiralty on board. The Armstrong and Whitworth Trials, Thp trials with these ordnance were suspended yesterday, all the members of the Special Committee having returned to London to hold a meeting, with a view, it is understood, to consideration of details of the programme yet to be gone through. On Monday the trials were made only for endurance— that is, 200 rounds were fired from each gun rapidly, and without any object as to aim or range. Before the reassembling of the Committee at Shoebnryness on Wednesday afternoon, careful impressions will be taken of all the ordnance to show the progress of wear and tear in their chambers or rifling. The guns have now been fired just upon 1,400 times, or about twice as often as, on the average, the old brass smoothbore field-piece endured before be coming unserviceable. All the guns competing on this occasion show signs of what they have gone through, but as yet nothing appears which could lead anyone to foretell which will outlast the other. Both Sir William and Mr. Whitworth assert them selves perfectly satisfied with such signs of wear as may be traced, and as yet consider them trivial. The trials will be continued during Thursday and Friday next ; and at the end of the firing on Friday, the Special Committee will suspend the continuance of further competition for nine days, during which the Committee themselves adjourn. Last week the trials were entirely for range and accuracy at high elevations. We are not yet in a position to give authentic details of these days' practice, and can only state generally that the results were, on the whole, decidedly in favour el Mr. Whitworth's gun as far as last week's competition was concerned.

The Matilda was a twin screw steamer, built at Renfrew in this present year, and registered at Glasgow, of the burthen 544 93-100 tons. She was built of iron, and pro. pelled by two engines of the combined horse power of 150. She was manned by a crew of 30 hands, all told, and was commanded by Mr W. G, Pinchon, who holds a certificate of competency as master, dated January 13, 1853. The Matilda left Glasgow, in ballast, bound for Cardiff, to fill up with coals. After taking on board 500 tons, and about 10 tons of steel and other metals, she took her departure from Cardiff, bound to Bermuda, on the evening of April 4, between five and six o'clock. At 7.10 p.m, she passed the Nash Light, and at 8.30 p.m. the Skerweat her Lightship bore N.E. three or four miles distant. From this position the course steered was W. by N. N., and the vessel was running at full speed-10 or 11 knots. At 10 o'clock p.m. a fog came on, and her speed was reduced to one-half. A little before 11 o'clock p.m., the fog having become thicker, the engines were put " dead slow," and the course was altered about half a point ; or to W. by N., in the hopes of hearing the fog gun on Lundy Island. At 11.20 land was discovered overhead on the star board bow, the engines were immediately stopped and reversed, but instantly the vessel struck. At this time the pilot states that he thought he was pis yr oorcti niilco N.E. uf Lt./1111y. It, A pptaao five, the evidence that this vessel had been swung at Greenock for the adjustment of her compasses, of which she had three on deck. It also appears that after leaving the Clyde, the only reliable compass according to the masters' opinion, was that in the after binnacle, immediately before the wheel on tht poop. The foremost compass placed on the deck house before the engines—au azimuth, and in tended for a standard—was rendered useless by the vibration of the ship when under weigh. The midship compass was placed so near the cookhouse and combings of the stoke-hole, which are both of iron, that the master considered it insufficient, though it, as well as the other compass, had been duly compensated by magnets when the ship was ' swung. There is great reason to think, however, judging from the courses steered and the fatal re sult that ensued, that this compass, though dis• regarded, was the most correct of the throe. I must here notice, that they were all stated to have agreed with each other when the ship was lying in Cardiff dock. But throughout no reliance seems to have been placed on the maindeck compass. It was stated in evidence that it differed two points to the southward from the steering compass, by which the course was laid. It must also be noticed that the pilot was of opinion that the steering compass was correct from running the distance from Brest.- sea Point to the Nash Light, an opinion WV.ch he communicated to the master. From a 'careful re. view of all the circumstances, I am. led to the con clusion that the courses steered from the Sker weather were justifiable in ordinary weather, pro vided the compass had been correct ; but consider ing that there was a thick fog, and that the com pass varied as much as two points, it would have been prudent to have kept the ship more to the northward, rather than to have altered the course as the pilot did towards the island when the fog became so dense. I should also remark that this was the first iron steamer the pilot had taken down Channel. With reference to the conduct of the master, lam disposed to think—and in this my assessors concur—that, having no previous expe rience of the navigation of the Bristol Channel, he was justified in relying upon the local knowledge of his pilot. But, knowing that a great difference in his compasses existed, he ought to have called the attention of the pilot to the fact when the weather became so thick that lights or landmarks were no longer available. By not doing so he pre vented the pilot from exercising that caution which he otherwise would have done. So far the master's conduct is reprehensible and deserving of censure ; but it is tot of so grave a charecter as to induce me to suspend his certificate. It has, therefore, been returned to him. I am glad to report that the hasty charge made by the master against the crews of certain Bristol pilot boats of plundering the vessel after she was wrecked, has been satisfactorily ex plained and entirely disapproved. The original charge was founded in misapprehension of the sere vices they were desirous of rendering.—l have, &c , ROBERT OLIVER JONES, Stipendiary Maglstrats. We concur in the above report, H.

JAMES'S NOVELS.—A critic in Saturday's Spectator observes,—lt chanced to the writer once to do what probably no other living man over did except Mr James himself, to read, when sick and bookless abroad, the entire series . 1 He quitted them with a feeling of regret that they were not twice as many, that he should not be any more kept so pleasantly at once from sleep and thinking. They were full to nausea of all the faults which the trained critic hates, of characters repeated time after time, descrip tions loaded down with words, "morals" forced on the reader with impertinent obtrusiveness, But they were pleasant reading nevertheless. The excessive flow of words, a flow wholly unequalled except in Fenimore Cooper's later novels, is not verbosity but rather garrulity, the talk not of an empty-headed man but of a man accustomed to take too much time, to tell his story in detail, to recount, as Eng lish PeafAhte still tie if they have any Adveuturee tv Mato. Y //c<Z 'ITFYVS - PA.PEI Restvration of the ApparentlyDrowned, — • =~. _~~ The following ir-structions for the restoration of the narently dead from drowning are now being issued National Lifeboat Institutixa. TL .y are the result of tc-nsive inquiries recently made by the institution amongst medical men, medical bodiE, and coroners raroughout the . 1 United Kingdom. Possessed of this valuable information the committee of the Lifeboat Society have felt justified in acting on it. After having been carefully considered, and the several opinions thus collected compared one with another, tho committee have caused the following instruc tions, based on the plans a Dr. Marshall Hall and Dr. 11. It- Silvester, to be printed, and the same are about to be extensively circulated on the coast and elsewhere. Ailed by four excellent illusfrotioi:a the plan of the institution for the restoration of the apparently dead from drowning is made intelligible to every one, mad this additional important service rendered by the Lifeboat Institution cannot fail to (Welt the approbation of the comtuurrity at large : I. — DIRECTIONS FOR RESTORING THE APPALENILY fi S DROWNED: Send immediately for medical assistance, blanketa, and dry clothing, but proceed to treat the patient instantly on the spot, in the open air, with the face downward, whether on shore or afloat; exposing the face, neck, and chest to the wind, except in severe weather, and removing all tight clothing from the neck and chest, especially the braces. The points to be aimed at are ---first and immediately, the restoration of breathing ; and secondly, after breathing is restored, the promotion of warmth and circulation. The efforts to restore breathing must be commenced immediately and energetically, and persevered in for one or two hours, or until a medical man has pronounced that life is extinct. Efforts to promote warmth and circulation, beyond remov— ing the wet clothes and drying the skin, trust not be made until the first appearance of natural breathing. For if cir. culation of the blood be induced before breathing has re commenced, the restoration to life will be endangered. lI.—TO RESTORE 13REd.THINO. Place the patient on the floor or ground with the face downwards and one of the arms under the forehead, in which position all fluids will more readily escape by the mouth, and the tongue itself will fall forward, leaving the entrance into the windpipe free. Assist this operation by wipinge and cleansing the mouth. If satisfactory breaoning com mences, use the treatment prescribed bele,w to promote warmth. If there be only slight breathiPeg, or no breathing er if the breathing fail, then, to mit e) breathing, turn the. patient well and instantly on the side, supporting the head and excite the nostrils with P:„fr, hartehorn, and smellieg salts, or tickle the throat with a feather, &c., if they are at hand. Rub the the ,'c and face warm, and dash cold water, or cold and hot r- ..ater alternately, on them. If there be no subcess, l o A, breathie ' ll not a moment, but instantly—t o i n iti a t e :g —replace the patient on the face, raising and sup 13°11:.ne• the chest well on a folded coat or other articles of tress. Turn the body very gently on the side and a little beyond, and then briskly on the face, back again, repeating these measures cautiously, efficiently, and perseveringly about 15 times in the minute, or once every four or five seconds, occasionally varying the side. On each occasion that the body is replaced an the face, make uniform but efficient pressure with brisk movement en the back between and below the shoulder-blades or bones on each side, re moving the pressure immediately before turning the body on the side. During the whole operation let one person attend solely to the movements of the head, and of the arm placed under it. Whilst the above operations are being proceeded with, dry the hands and feet; and as soon as dry clothing or blankets can be procured, strip the body and cover, or gradually reclothe it, but taking care not to inter fere with the efforts to restore breathing. Should these efforts not prove successful in the course of from two or five minutes, proceed to imitate breathing by Dr. Silvester's method, as follows :—Place the patient on the back on a fiat surface, inclined a little upwards from the feet ; raise and support the head and shoulders on a small firm cushion or folded article of dress placed under the shoulder-blades. Draw forward the patient's tongue, and keep it projecting beyond the lips : an elastic band over the tongue and vnder the chin will answer this purpose, or a piece of string or tape may be tied round them, or by rais ing the lower jaw the teeth may be made to retain the tongue in that position. Remove all tight clothing from about the neck and chest, especially the braces. To imitate the movements of breathing—Standing at the patient's head, grasp the arena just above the elbows, and draw the arms gently and steadily upwards above the head, and keep them stretched upwards of two seconds. (By this means air is pressed out of the lungs.) Repeat the mea sures alternately, deliberately, and perseveringly about 15 times in a minute until a spontaneous effort to respire is perceived, immediately upon which case to imitate the movements of breathing and proceed to induce circulation and warmth. IV,-TREATMENT AFTER NATURAL BREATHING HAS BEEN- RESTORED. Commence rubbing the limbs upwards with firm grasp ing pressure and energy, using handkerchiefs, flannels, &c. (by this measure the blood is propelled along the veins to wards the heart). The friction must be continued under the blanket or over the dry clothing. Promote the warmth of the body by the application of hot flAnnels, bottles, or bladders of hot water, heated bricks, &c., to the pit of the stomach, the arm pits, between the thighs, and to the solos of the feet. If the patient has been carried to a house afi er respiration has been restored, be careful to let the air play freely about the room. On the restoration of life, a tea spoonful of warm water should be given ; and then, if the power of swallowing have returned, small quantities of wiue t warm brandy and water, or coffee, should be administered. Tne patient aLuald Lw kept in bed, and a diepositlort to sloop encouraged. APPEARANCES WHICH GENERALLY ACCOMPANY DEATH. Breathing and the heart's action cease entirely; the eye: , lids are generally half closed, the pupils dilated, the jaws clenched, the fingers semi -contracted, the tongue approaches to the under edges of the lips, and these, as well as the nostrils, are covered with a frothy mucus, Coldness and pallor of surface increase. CAUTIONS. Prevent unnecessary crowding of persons round the body, especially if in an apartment. Avoid rough usage, and do not allow the body to remain on the back unless the tongue is secured. Under no circumstances hold the body up by the feet. On no acccunt place the body in a warm bath, unless under medical direction, and even then it should only be employed as a momentary excitant. Medical Attendance for the Sick Poor, An inquiry was held last night by Mr. Hum phreys, Middlesex coroner, at the Windsor Castle Tavern, Victoria Park, touching the death of a fe male child from want of medical attendance at birth. Charles Franks, 6, Type-street, Bethnal-green, a shell-fish hawker, said that at four o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 9th of April, his wife awoke him and asked him to fetch a doctor, as her confinement was imminent. He went to the work house at Bethnal-green, where they sent him to the house of Mr. William Runcieman, the relieving officer. The latter positively refused to give an order for the doctor ) but said the woman should come into the house. Witness said she was too bad for removal. Mr. Runcieman said he would not give a doctor's order, but he would give an order for admission. He gave witness a paper, which he could not read, and which ho believed, on the faith of Runcieman's assurance, was an order for admis sion. Witness took it home, passing the doctor's house, and told a neighbour that his wife couldoelf be taken into the house. In the evening, after the child was dead, witness took the order back to the relieving officer, who said it was an order fo r t h e doctor, and asked witness why he did n ot present it. Witness said " Because you told me it was for the house and not for the doctor." Mrs. Swainsbury said that w hen last witness came in with the piper given bynrcieman he said not read.
